About Boston butt
Boston Butt, also known as pork shoulder, is a flavorful cut of meat that comes from the upper part of a pig's shoulder. Despite its name, it has no connection to Boston or the pig's hindquarters. This cut is prized in American barbecue, particularly in Southern cuisine, where it’s often cooked low and slow for dishes like pulled pork. Boston Butt is rich in protein, iron, and B vitamins, which are essential for energy production and muscle health. However, it’s also higher in fat, including saturated fat, making moderation key for heart-conscious diets. The marbled fat enhances its tenderness and moisture, making it ideal for braising, smoking, or roasting. Though considered less lean than alternatives like pork loin, careful preparation and trimming can make it a satisfying and nutrient-packed choice for carnivores seeking bold flavors.
